Hurrah ! The housecraft cup is mine :D

 

I only moved to the village in 2006 and it's taken me a while to get to know what is expected at the show, I now buy doileys for my cakes!!!!

 

I think it was a fairly close thing with the previous cup holder, but I pipped her to it. My children are so proud!

 

I'm afraid no picture as they took it away straight away to get it engraved.

I was just about to post about how I came 3rd overall for cookery in our village show today. Mind you I only entered in about half the categories - look out next year!

 

WELL DONE YOU!

WELL DONE YOU!

 

Thankyou very much - sorry I stole your glory :oops:

The trick is to enter as many things as you possibly can Pengy. I've been practicing the different catagories during the year, which has really added to my cooking repertoire! I can now make Quiches, pate & shortbread, which I didn't know how to make before. The question is, can I be bothered to try making a swiss roll for the Autumn show? :lol:

 

Well done! What sort of cake did you make?

 

Cakes - I made rock cakes (3rd prize)

Cherry loaf to a given recipe with margerine :vom: - no prize

Victoria Sponge - (1st prize) 8)

Shortbread - (3rd prize)

 

I also entered a handmade card, 2 x jam, pate, quiche & cheese scones

The pate can be made a few days before, and the jams/ cards ages before. I also made the pastry for the quiche on Thursday and put it in the fridge.

I weighed out all the ingredients on Thursday night and then just leisurely baked on Friday as everything was already prepared. I'm not actually an organised person normally, but I know it's impossible to do all those catagories without pretending to be organised :lol:
